Kling Video 2.6 Motion Control User Guide

Motion Control enables precise control of a character's movements and facial expressions based on a reference image. When generating video from an image, you can assign motion to one character in the image. The motion can be extracted from an uploaded video or selected directly from the motion library. The result is a character video with accurately controlled actions and expressions.

Kling VIDEO 3.0 Motion Control

The newly released Kling VIDEO 3.0 Motion Control builds upon the Motion Control introduced in VIDEO 2.6, delivering key capability upgrades. VIDEO 3.0 Motion Control enhances facial consistency across scenarios, ensuring stable facial features and smooth expressions even in complex, multi-angle, long-duration motions.

This upgrade expands Motion Control into cinematic performance, high-precision motion capture, and diverse entertainment scenarios, delivering more powerful and reliable video generation.

How to Use Kling VIDEO 3.0 Motion Control

1. Upload the reference action video and character image you want to imitate.

2. Click "Bind Facial Element to Enhance Facial Consistency" below the character image. Bind an existing element or create a new one to generate an action video with consistent facial identity.

3. Simply upload a set of images or upload/record a short video to quickly create an element and easily enrich multi-angle and multi-emotion element information.

Note: Element Binding is supported only when the character's orientation matches the video orientation.

How to Achieve the Desired Outputs

1. The Motion Control Element Library only uses facial information for reference. It does not include clothing, hairstyle, makeup, or props. Therefore, we recommend uploading clear facial close-ups to ensure sufficient facial data.

2. Whether you upload images or videos, follow this core principle: Upload facial references that match the result you want to generate.

- Head Turn Accuracy: To achieve more accurate head turns, upload a front-facing view and side views (left and/or right).

- Facial Expression Accuracy: To better match facial expressions (such as smiling), upload a neutral front-facing image and a smiling front-facing image.

- 360 Smiling Rotation: For a seamless 360 smiling rotation, upload front-facing smile, left-profile smile, right-profile smile, upward-facing smile, and downward-facing smile.

- Complex Emotional Transitions with Head Movement: Upload a front-facing image, a smiling expression, a sad expression, and side views.

- If you need complex facial expressions while maintaining high identity accuracy, we strongly recommend uploading a video, which provides richer and more continuous facial information.

How to Achieve the Desired Outputs

1. Match the character's full-body/half-body in the image reference with the full-body/half-body in the motion reference.

2. Use a motion reference that features a wide range of motion, moderate speed, and minimal displacement.

3. For large motions reference, ensure there is enough space in the image reference for the character to move freely.

4. Ensure the character's entire body and head are clearly visible and not obstructed.

5. Upload a single character motion reference.

6. Real human actions are recommended, while certain stylized humanoid body proportions can be recognized.

7. The action video must be a single continuous shot, with the character consistently visible in the frame. Avoid cuts, shot changes, or camera movements.
